Age-specific, year-specific mortality estimates for Zimbabwe between the years 1983 and 2013 are shown below.
Data for these estimates is based on the following DHS surveys for Zimbabwe:
NOTE: Some regional recoding was necessary to harmonize the different surveys. The final regions used in each survey are shown in the plot below:
The plots below show the mortality experienced by different age groups in the different regions of Zimbabwe.
The results of the Poisson regression (using age group, time period and country region as predictors) are shown below:
